Performativity Education is no longer to be concerned with the pursuit of ideals such as personal autonomy or emancipation, but with the means, techniques or skills that contribute to the efficient operation of the state in the world market and contribute to maintaining the internal cohesion and legitimation of the state (Marshall 1999) Performativity is a technology, a culture, and a mode of regulation that employs judgment, comparisons, and displays as means of control, attrition, and change (Ball 2000) In a performative culture, demonstrated productivity by everyone is demanded and all participants in an organisation/school are required to develop as active, enterprising, and optimistic individuals who are market assets (Meadmore & Meadmore 2004).
